That Halloween is imprinted in my memory. That day my life was good and I knew it. All the reasons to love my life ran around and danced before me. Emily and A.J. were, and are, my center. They are the reason why, even at night, the good stuff is still more powerful. They are the reason I refuse to let the bad stuff take over. I fight for my kids. They’re why I’m not going to let the bad stuff win.
